“Don Quijote is a Japanese discount store chain that sells basic groceries, household goods, beauty products, bedding, toys, electronics, clothing, and general merchandise. In 2021, there were 160 locations in Japan, 13 in Singapore, 8 in Hong Kong, 3 in HI, and 1 each in Macau and Guam. As I predominantly shop at the Honolulu store on Kaheka St., this review is for that store (the other two locations are in Pearl City and Waipahu). Don Quijote was founded by Takao Yasuda with the opening of its 1st store in Tokyo in Sept. 1980. It entered HI in 2006 when it acquired the Daiei stores. Don Quijote purchased the Marukai chain stores in the US in 2013, and the stores either became Marukai or Tokyo Central Markets. In HI, Don Quijote bought Marukai HI, Times Supermarkets, Shima's, Fujioka's Wine Times, and the Big Save Markets on 9/30/13; however, other than the 3 Daiei stores that were renamed Don Quijote, the other stores retained their original names, but the branding changed to become consistent with Don Quijote marketing requirements. Marukai, Times, and Shima's carry some of the identical items as Don Quijote and also takes part in the same promotions. Also known in Japan as "Donki," it is able to purchase from overseas at wholesale prices to offer discount prices to shoppers. Its official mascot is Donpen, which is a blue penquin that wears a red nightcap. The name of "Donpen" is based on the store's name (Don), and the Japanese name for penquin (pen). The moon is sometimes depicted with the penquin, which is a symbol of lightening the midnight towns. So, it is no surprise that this Don Quijote in Honolulu is open 24 hours and many in Japan are open until the wee hours of the morning or even open for 24 hours, which differs in the retail industry in that most stores close around 9p or 10p. Jonetz is Don Quijote's product brand that was created in 2009 and means "passionate prices" that refers to the affordability of its items to its customers. When Don Quijote took over this Daei Store, renovations were made to accommodate the increase in items brought in from Japan. Many people disliked how items were stacked to the brim and how every space was made use of. This store was very bright and well lit. However, as with the Japan stores, artificial vines and floral décor hung from every space in the ceiling. Yes, it was an unusual shopping experience which made Don Quijote known for what they were; however, this did not last long in HI, as strict fire regulations prohibit these ceiling hangings due to fire safety requirements. Shucks, and I enjoyed this colorful décor! One of the popular sections in this store is its okazukya section. Hot items offered on rotation include: chicken (karaage, nishime, curry, Korean, kalua pork & cabbage, shoyu); starches (baked spaghetti, fried rice, yakisoba, pancit); green beans & pork; shoyu pork; roast pork; beef stew; baked ham w/ pineapple; corned beef & cabbage; pork & eggplant w/ miso; mapo tofu; sweet sour spareribs, pork & peas, tripe stew; tempura items. There is also a huge selection of regular-sized and mini bentos, sushi, sashimi, musubi, salads, and side dishes. Senior discounts are provided for ages 60 and over from 6a to 7a daily and all-day Tuesday. The discounts vary depending on the items and excludes sale items, liquor, tobacco, and seasonal items. A weekly sales ad displays items on sale online and on a glossy flyer that can be picked up at the store. Popular items sell out often, but you can get a raincheck, good for 30 days, from the friendly staff at Customer Service that is located by the cashiers. To make this a one-stop shopping experience, Don Quiote also has an in-house pharmacy and contracts with various vendor inside and outside its store. It has a laundromat; nail salon; restaurants (Korean, Greek, Thai, ramen, local plate lunches, bentos, Chinese, inari sushi, wagyu beef, andagi, coffee; takoyaki & noodles); cosmetics; heathcare; cell phone accessories; cab services, bike share.

“I was in the area renewing my ID with the Chief, aka Dad hehe, and we walked over to the exchange for some snacks, drinks and to browse around. This exchange has tons of all things Coast Guard. Plentiful shirts, jackets, baby outfits, and CG uniforms/costumes for the kiddos. The line at the register is never long when we stop by.”
“Great assortment of outdoor stuff. I assumed it was just plants and landscaping, but they have bbqs, coolers, and everything else you could need for outside. Good priced and helpful staff.”

“We only bought batteries here. Most of the staff were nice except for one woman who was a little patronising towards us 'haoles' who wanted to use up the last of our currency before flying out back home. We didn't have enough in coin and I couldn't be bothered putting an additional fridge magnet on card so we left it there.”

“We've come here literally every day since we began our vacation. These stores are located everywhere on the island! They are convenient and offer a variety of everything from hot food, drinks, souvenirs, personal care, wine/beer to household and travel items. The staff is always extremely friendly and always looks out to provide a great experience. I had a few to many things in my hands today and a staff member brought me a basket. Depending on the location, the store can vary with size and offerings. Save your receipts because you can go back at the end of your visit for free gifts.”

“Great deals, a wide variety of products. My personal favorite sections are kitchen, home, and the planner/journal/picture frame/card/random games and books isle. They have neat snacks that I never see anywhere else, and it's a great place to get a candle at a good price, and there's a LOT to choose from. I, at times, will come needing a present for someone, and I just mosey around until I've collected what I've felt are going to be enjoyable gifts! It's not hard to find something for everyone there.”
“its hit n miss… but i try to check in once in a while to see if there are treasures that can be found. i think thats the fun of shopping here. great thing is they have same return policy as the big sister store so its no stress shopping. I found some great sneakers here!!! great treasures in my opinion haha. ON runners are hot right now and i found few pairs in my size! wow”
“Great place. Huge selection of everything here. Very clean and well stocked NEX. A must if u need some shopping to get done! I was shocked at all the venders and local souvenirs you can get.”
“MORE THAN THE BASICSSurprised to find fresh fruit and vegetables! Frozen meats as well. ALSO HAS THE BASICSEnergy drinks, snacks. All that stuff. Did not have any protein related stuff. Lots of unhealthy snacks. ALSO HAS ALCOHOLYep. That's pretty much it! :)”
“If you have access to get on base this is in Military Housing area, and you will need it to buy stuff. GPS ended away from the store but you will be turning right to be able to see it. It's a smaller version of the NEX in Pearl City. It has stuff you could get at Walmart, Walgreens, or Target. Workers are friendly and helpful when you have a question. Not very busy store and it is away from the busy areas of Ewa Beach. They have different selections to choose from. If you go to the beach and forget something this store is really close by. Very calm area! You can also fill up gas but it is comparable to the NEX Pearl city and Safeway. check the gas app to check.”
“This is a great convenience store chain on almost every block along Waikiki Beach. You will find almost anything a tourist would need after checking in to your hotel. The employees are very friendly and helpful.”
“It's a department store in Ala Moana. We have branded cosmetics. Here, the store clerk is persistent and doesn't answer.Branded items are available at the Ala Moana shop.If you don't choose, there won't be enough items. For cosmetics, go to Clinique or SK.If you're looking for cosmetics, go to Macy's.”
“Extremely organized and the team members were so friendly. The store is very clean. I was really surprised after some Targets I’ve experienced aren’t the cleanest.They have a lot of parking and also EV charging for your electric vehicles although more stalls would be great.”
“Very popular tourist destination. Friendly staff. Help them out by removing the black hangers and hang them on the hanger rack provided in line, it helps speed up check out. If you're visiting Hawaii.. Please note, there is a plastic bag ban, you can either bring your own bag or purchase a paper bag for 15c or if available, a reusable Ross bag for 99c. Great value for future shopping trips or cheap beach bag. New inventory almost daily. See my tips in the photos for parking.. Ross validates free parking for 2 hours WITH purchase. Bring parking ticket with you and the cashier will validate. Seniors! if you're shopping on Tuesday, inform the cashier. Tuesday is senior discount day. You must ask..”
“We don't typically shop at Macy's, but it proved to be an economical, efficient destination for name brand beach wear and refined casuals. Generally the same stuff, but a better deal, than several flagship stores along the same Waikiki strip. Pleasant, but not pushy staff, too.”

“Huge selection of dog toys, treats and accessories at such a great price! Mom even let me pick my own Christmas gift today Also, the employees are so helpful and friendly! We will see y'all soon”
“We had lost a wallet in the store (big oops) and searched for a while before security called up a manager to help us. The managers name is Allen and oh man was he a huge help! He was super approachable and helped in every way he could. He covered all the bases and made us feel like everything was going to be okay! No lie Target, you have an awesome manager working there! Again, his name was Allen! :D”
“Always have my meds! Thankful for that as many do not! They're also super helpful and fast! The only pharmacist who warned me I was on blood thinners. I pick up from 3-4 other CVS Longs stores! Never a line!”
“Walmart and Sam's are in the same building, only the floors are different. All kinds of products are available, and many are at the lowest prices. When purchasing chocolate as a gift upon returning home, it is $7 to $8 cheaper than at stores in downtown Waikiki.”
“One of the places that hasn’t changed on Ford Island in 30 years except to add a very small barbershop and Subway. Parking can be a challenge. Five minute walk from the Aviation museum Mai it’s a good place to pick up drinks and snacks. Awesome support place when touring Buford Idland!”
“Overall they are pretty good in helping me find what I'm looking for. But the system and app needs work. For a bed sheet size cal king, their register says one in stock. But the app doesn't even have cal king listed to order pick-up. They did go above and beyond to call another location but its the holiday season.”
“Very professional and competitive prices. only problem is the lines are too long. Need more cashiers. Store is clean and organized. I would recommend this location to other shoppers.”

“Tbh, I didn't actually go here. My phone has seemed to convince itself that I did, though. Or maybe I'm just developing dementia early in life. Either way, I'm sure if you go, you'll have a great experience.”
“This is probably the smallest Macy's that I've been in. While the store is small in size, you can still find all the necessities. They have men's, women's and kid's departments. They also have luggage, swimwear, jewelry, shoes and cosmetics. Yesterday, was National Lipstick Day. MAC was running a great deal. They had 40% off on select lipsticks, lipliners and glosses. I wanted to get the O lipstick and Oak lipliner. However, they were sold out. The salesgirl offered to order it for me and send it to my residence with free shipping. I told her that was fine. She looked up my info in the computer system and rang me up. She was really helpful towards the end, but in the beginning she saw me looking at all their lipsticks for 10 minutes and didn't bother coming over. It was only after another woman came by that she decided to come and help us.”
“We found a lot of things we needed. My wife found two small luggage bags. I bought a shirt for the beach. The parking garage is only 15 a night. That is cheaper than the hotel parking.”
“Macys is still one of the few department stores that offers a great variety of quality items, clothing & shoes without breaking the bank. They still have visible employees that are helpful. That's a bonus nowadays with this generation. Still one of my favorite stores for special occasions and every day delights. Keep up the great choices and service.”
“Went on 26 DEC for after Christmas shopping. The last time I was here was about 6 years ago and what I will say is the store is vastly improved since 6 years ago. Preciously, the store was in complete disarray with piles of unfolded clothes on tables and clothes half hanging off hangers. The store on 26 DEC 2023 was very neatly organized with everything in neat order.”

“The store has uniform items available, tailoring, convenient store, and food court. The staff has always been polite and helpful whwn I have gone there. The tailoring shop is busy a lot of the time so if you need items tailored you'll want to get them in early to make sure you get them back in time for your event.”
